Mercedes Turbo

[Mal]

Right, I'd better conclude this!

Turbo on

The downpipe needs an adapter plate, just cut the lip of the Merc downpipe and weld it onto some flat steel plate, drill then bolt on the XUD downpipe. I also bolted the wastegate shut as the arm uses a bolt, not a clip


Bear in mind with that setup it may still foul the gear linkage therefore 1st, 3rd and 5th will be a pain in the arse to select. Getting it done custom and binning that elbow someday soon

Driving defiltered so far. Finding a set of pipes to go to the turbo was a right pain in the arse so I used pipework from a Volvo S40 and a 2.5 Daily. Tight but fits well

As for driving.... I'm running a 11mm pump with advance mods, transit gov, lda grind etc. Boost comes in properly just before 3k rpm, quite laggy otherwise but it is a relatively big turbo.

I don't know the limits of this turbo, don't want to go too high so soon.... Currently running 24psi, controlled by fuelling

This is on a 406 btw, a floppy barge compared to a 306....!


I hope this was some help if anyone is thinking of using this turbo....!
